Atlus Announces Persona 3 and Collector's Content

Atlus announced today the arrival of Persona 3 for the
PlayStation 2 this coming Summer. It'll be launched under the
Shin Megami Tensei franchise, and will come as either the
standalone game or in a collector's edition box. The collector's
version will feature an art book and game soundtrack. Persona 3 comes
eight years after the release of Persona 2 in the Staes, and the
game has received tons of awards and acclaim overseas in Japan.

Persona 3 is the most exciting, challenging, and ambitious
title in the SMT series to date! said Yu Namba, Project
Lead for P3. While still faithful to its roots, it takes
the series in a bold new direction with the implementation of the
Social Link system, where your relationship with not just party
members but also a huge cast of characters is critical to your
success!
